Key takeaway About 13,514 Amana Window-Room-Air-Conditioners (WRAC) and Through the Wall (TTW) air conditioners or heat pumps were included in the recall, which was issued on June 25.
Why this matters in The Midland
The recall of thousands of air conditioners due to fire and burn risks is particularly concerning for Midland residents, who are no strangers to sweltering summer heat. As the Permian Basin area experiences its own share of hot temperatures, the need for reliable and safe cooling systems is paramount. The fact that the affected units were sold recently, between April and December 2025, means that many local households may be using these potentially hazardous air conditioners. Midland residents who have purchased Amana Window-Room-Air-Conditioners or Through the Wall air conditioners or heat pumps during this time should take immediate action to check their units and contact Daikin Comfort Technologies Manufacturing for a refund. With the heat wave expected to continue, the risk of fire or burn injury from a faulty air conditioner is a serious concern that demands attention from local homeowners.
